This file contains information on the replication files in relation to the paper "Testing for salience effects in choices under risk"
by Carsten S. Nielsen Alexander C. Sebald Peter N. Sørensen

[A] The README file should list all the replication files with a brief description of each. It should clearly
indicate which programs correspond to what results in the paper.

The replication files include

(1) The Readme file: 

The readme file contains a list and description of the files i the replication package, a data dictionary that defines each variable and additional information regarding the data as well as the statistical package used. 
	
(2) The Dataset "Dataset_Salience" 

The dataset contains the annonamized raw data from the experiment which forms the basis for the analysis. To annonimize the dataset email adresses and another personal identifier used to pay the participant are dropped from the dataset.
  
(3) The Do-file "Do_Salience"

The do-file contains information how to run the code, a data dictionary and detailed comments describing the analyses that relate to the different reported results in the paper. We hope that the annotations make it easy to relate 
the different statistical tests to the reported results in the paper.
   
[B] The README file should also contain a data dictionary that defines each variable and gives the
provenance of all the data.

The dataset "Dataset_Salience" contains the annonimized raw data from the experiment which we conducted on-line in November 2016, using the Internet Panel of the Center of Experimental Economics, University of Copenhagen. In total, 473 participants finished the
complete experiment and generated 1,892 observations.

Data dictionary: The following list defines the variables in the dataset.

- username: randomly generated to participants and send to them by mail so they could log on website for experiment
  
- password: randomly generated to participants and send to them by mail so they could log on website for experiment

- group: a group number automatically allocated to each participant indicating the group that the participants had in the experiment. Group numbers are only relevant in strategic games where it is important to identify participants that were linked together. The group number is not used in the individual decision making situation we have here in the analysis.

- screen: the number of the last opened screen of experiment

- role: a number indicating the role that the particpants had in the experiment. All have the same number due to individual nature of decision. 

- completed: True/False. This is "TRUE" when the particpant has completed the whole experiment. I.e when the participant has finished screen 10.

- noreload: technical variable indicating whether a person stopped and restarted the experiment. It is empty when no restart took place. 

- control1: answer of control question 1

- control2: answer of control question 2

- order: umber that indicates the sequence in which the 4 individual decision situations were shown.

- round1-round4: amount bet (in DKK) on risky lottery in each round

- random1-random2: randomly generated number to determine payouts

- paymentround: round that was paid out

- paymentstate: realized state of the world (good or bad) to determine payoffs  

- payoff: the payoff (in DKK)

[C] The README file should identify the version of the software used (by version number and/or release
date) and similarly for the operating system on which the software runs.

We used STATA Version 17 for our analysis: Stata/SE 17.0 for Windows (64-bit x86-64), Revision 17 Nov 2021
